"We are reaching out to inform you that we will be retiring EC2-Classic on August 15, 2022. This message contains important information about the retirement and steps to take before the retirement date

How does this impact you? Your AWS account currently has EC2-Classic enabled for EU-WEST-1 Region"..

To be fair, "EC2-Classic is a flat network that we launched with EC2 in the summer of 2006", so I'm not complaining, but thought it was an interesting counterpoint.

I thought that at the time I got that notification.

But it turns out I don't have any EC2-Classic instances, and was really just a notification I wouldn't be able to create new one.

It's not a counterpoint, though.

They're retiring a product that's been deprecated for half a decade.

No prices are being raised...

edit: I misunderstood, I thought we were still talking about prices.

The GP said “ They also don't discontinue any service as long as at least 1 customer* uses it.”

The person you are replying to gave the counterpoint that AWS is discontinuing a service that the person is currently using.

This seems like a valid counterpoint to me.
